'''''Gall Force''''' is a group of science fiction anime [[OAV]] series made starting in 1986 by the studio Artmic, with production by Youmex and AIC.
The original series concerns a [[Hopeless War]] between the [[One-Gender Race]] of Solnoids (humanoid females) and the Paranoids, who are an amorphous race that usually inhabits [[Mobile Suit Human|powered armor suits]]. The remaining crew of the Solnoid cruiser ''Star Leaf'' barely escape the destruction of their fleet in yet another hopeless battle, only to get caught up in a conspiracy that will have far reaching consequences for all concerned.
Line 8:
The original story has two direct sequels, in which Lufy is rescued ten years after being stranded in space during the original. She joins up with another replica of Catty and her team, first to prevent the ongoing war from claiming Earth and the ''Star Leaf'''s legacy, and later in a last desperate attempt to bring everything to an end other than the mutual annihilation both sides seem to be seeking.
Later, ''[[Oddly-Named Sequel 2: Electric Boogaloo|Rhea]] Gall Force'' and its sequels, the ''Earth Chapter'' revisit the story on a post-apocalyptic Earth, millions of years after the original series. The [[Lost Technology]] of the Solnoids and Paranoids have given birth to the "
The more obscure final entry in the original continuity is ''New Era'', which has humanity rebuild from the ashes of the Earth Chapter, only to fall into conflict with a race of [[Artificial Human|Artificial Humans]] they created. But the legacy of the "
The series saw a revival in 1996 with ''Gall Force: The Revolution'' -- an attempted [[Continuity Reboot]] of the franchise that replaced the Paranoids with a perpetual civil war between factions of Solnoids, and a group of rebels trying to bring that war to an end. Despite [[Names to Know in Anime|an all-star cast of seiyuu]], the series was quickly forgotten, and is [[No Export for You|the only part of the franchise not released in English]].
{{tropelist}}
* [[Ace Pilot]] - Lufy, an "Attacker" with over 150 confirmed kills and a medallion to prove it.
* [[Adam and Eve Plot]] - Implied.
Line 21 ⟶ 20:
* [[Animal Theme Naming]] - Most of the Solnoids: Rabby (Rabbit), Lufy (Wolf), Catty (Cat), etc.
** Alternately, there's [[Rock Theme Naming]] in ''New Era''.
** Some of the characters in ''Rhea''/''Earth Chapter'' have [[Musical Theme Naming]].
* [[Artificial Human]] - The "new life form" from the originals; The "Yumans" from ''New Era''.
* [[Auto Doc]] - When Lufy is brought into the analysis station operated by Spea, they just move her into a chamber and press some buttons to restart her heart from a state of suspended animation. Spea mentions offhand that there are several injuries that may require organ replacement.
* [[Badass]] - Lufy takes out the vast majority of an alien attack group while using the equivalent of her fighter's ''escape pod''.
* [[Back from the Dead]] - Lufy was rescued to appear in the first two sequels.
* [[The Battlestar]] - The ''Star Leaf'' is a space cruiser armed with numerous guns and missiles and a large component of space fighters and [[Humongous Mecha]].
* [[Big Eater]] - Rumy.
* [[Bizarre Alien Biology]] - The "new life form" grows to adulthood within maybe 20 minutes.
Line 33 ⟶ 34:
* [[The Constant]] - {{spoiler|Catty. After another of her model appears in the original series, ''Earth Chapter'' introduces another duplicate rebuilt by Earth humanity millenia later; this duplicate also appears in ''New Era''.}}
* [[Continuity Reboot]] - ''Gall Force: The Revolution''
* [[Dogfighting Furballs]] - [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqwaCGN0Gdg A smaller one occurs] with [[The Battlestar]], two fighters, three [[Humongous Mecha]] and a suit of [[Power Armor]] versus maybe two or three dozen "battle drones" (actually [[Starfish Aliens]] in [[Power Armor]]).
* [[Dream Sequence]] - In the escape ship.
* [[Dub-Induced Plot Hole]] - It's relatively minor, just a bit of a characterization goof: in the dub, Lufy is nicer to Pony before the spacewalk, saying "You'll live. Promise." This line doesn't exist in the sub, and it's Rabby who encourages the tech to go across the zipline.
Line 53 ⟶ 54:
* [[Human Aliens]] - The Solnoids.
* [[Humongous Mecha]] - The Paranoid "dynamech", among others.
* [[Identical Grandson]] - The ''Rhea''/''Earth Chapter'' and ''New Era'' series have counterparts of the original cast, that are [[Hand Wave|Hand Waved]] by this trope.
* [[It's All Junk]] - Lufy throws her "Attacker" medal to the floor when Rabby accuses her of not caring about her fellow pilots who died while she earned it.
* [[Kill Sat]] - The System Destroyer, the [[BFG]] of Kill Sats,
* [[Loser Son of Loser Dad|Loser Daughter Of Loser Mad Scientist]]: Sandy Newman of the ''Rhea''/''Earth Chapter'' series (Rabby's reincarnation), the daughter of the scientist who discovered the ruins from ''Eternal Story'' and created the
* [[Martyr Without a Cause]] - Arguably Lufy's motivation for her [[You Shall Not Pass]] [[Heroic Sacrifice]] in ''Eternal Story''.
* [[Mecha Mook]] - The Solnoid "cyborg soldiers" who appear starting in the second installment of the original series.
Line 66 ⟶ 67:
* [[Planet of the Apes Ending]]

* [[The Team Wannabe]] - Mitty
* [[Ten Little Murder Victims]]
* [[Token
* [[Transforming Mecha]] - The hoverbikes that turn into humanoid robots.
* [[World of Action Girls]] - Justified by being a [[One-Gender Race]].
